Feel the impact of your music and movie soundtracks

Go ahead, turn it up! Then sit back and enjoy the lifelike vocals, snappy percussion, and surprisingly full-bodied bass response that Polk Audio's TSx220B bookshelf speakers deliver. Their 1" silk/polymer dome tweeters provide clear, spacious highs that stay gentle on the ears, even at higher volumes. And their 6-1/2" Dynamic Balance® woofers pump out impressive bottom end that'll keep your tunes rocking. They make a great choice for stereo music listening or a home theater system in small- to medium-sized rooms.

Designed and built for exceptional performance

Polk carefully builds the TSx-series speakers using advanced manufacturing techniques and high-quality materials — they put a lot into them so you get a lot out of them. Each one boasts Polk's exclusive Dynamic Balance® drivers — a bi-laminate design of fiber-infused polymers sandwiched together to form a strong yet highly efficient lightweight cone for natural, low-distortion sound. Polk puts these advanced drivers through extensive testing to find and eliminate resonance points, ensuring that everything you listen to sounds clean and accurate.

Polk also paid special attention to the TSx crossovers, using a high-performance design with premium parts like Mylar bypass capacitors to deliver smooth and extended high-frequency details. Even the enclosures contribute to great sound. Their attractive cabinets use non-resonant MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and non-parallel curved side panels to create a rigid, acoustically inert structure that effectively reduces audible coloration.

Priced per pair

Why choose bookshelf speakers?

Bookshelf speakers may be small in size, but they can deliver surprisingly big sound. Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers.

Product Research

Driver Technology

TSx Series Loudspeaker: Introducing the TSx Series of loudspeakers
from Polk; stylish and quality-built for high performance. The high efficiency
TSx Series loudspeaker features a unique curved enclosure wrapped in a
wood-grain vinyl. The loudspeaker employs Dynamic Balance tuned drivers and
tweeters for realistic mid-range, deep, well-blended bass, and incredible detail
- for a classic Polk sound that is naturally open, spacious, and clear.

High Efficiency Design: The TSx Series loudspeaker can be driven by
practically any electronics, even the most modestly-powered amplifier or
receiver. Whether you're connecting them to the newest digital receiver, or to
your vintage amp, the TSx Series loudspeaker can produce sound that's spacious
and clear, enveloping and realistic.

Dynamic Balance Drivers: The TSx Series loudspeaker uses Polk's
Dynamic Balance Driver Technology for great sound. Dynamic Balance is a
proprietary Polk Audio technology using laser imaging to determine what
combination of speaker materials create the least amount of resonance.
Eliminating resonance in speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low
distortion. Using just the right materials enables Polk to tune out
performance-robbing resonances before they occur.

Klipple Optimized Motor: Klipple Optimized Motor employs a
laser and sophisticated software for large scale analysis of the TSx Series
loudspeaker's drivers in motion. Using this state-of-the-art laser and software
process, Polk engineers were able to optimize the speaker's motor structure,
voice coil alignment, and suspension to yield the best possible performance.

Silk/Polymer Dome Tweeter: The TSx220B bookshelf loudspeaker
features a 1.0" silk/polymer Dynamic Balance dome tweeter with a powerful
neodymium magnet structure that delivers clear and detailed highs for realistic
reproduction of vocals and instruments, without fatigue.

High Performance Crossover: The loudspeaker employs a high performance
crossover system for optimum blending and time alignment of the overall speaker.
Mylar bypass capacitors are used to reveal extended high frequency details.

TSx-Series Timbre-Matched: All Polk loudspeakers are timbre-matched
within their series, designed with the same components throughout, to achieve
seamless speaker-to-speaker blending effects in multi-channel systems.

Frequency Response: The TSx220B bookshelf loudspeaker has an
overall frequency response of 42Hz-25kHz, while the -3dB frequency response is
50-24kHz.

Mounting Options

Placement: Create an equilateral triangle between the
speaker and the listening position. If you notice video distortion or
discoloration, immediately move the speaker away from the video source.

Rubber Feet: The bookshelf loudspeaker comes with
self-adhesive rubber feet so it will sit safely and securely on your speaker stand or
shelf. The rubber feet add approximately 0.625" to the height of the speaker.

Wall Mounting: The TSx220B bookshelf speaker does not feature any type of
wall-mount bracket or hardware. The optional PinPoint heavy duty side-grip
wall-mounting bracket (121AM40B,
sold separately) can be used to wall mount the speaker.

My TSX 220s

I am a 57 yr. old man. Music is a major part of my life. I've gone from one piece hi fi's to 5.1 and 7.2 surround systems. I listen to music, and home theater everyday . I have a 1000 watt home theater in a box system. It sounded goog not great. Because I LOVE music. I wanted to buy a better system, the plastic speakers are a shame. I wondered what it would sound like with good speaker. So I researched bookshelf speakers. I decided to get tsx220s for the front and tsx110s for the back. My order got messed up. I never got my 110s. So I just replaced the fronts with the 220s.OMG! It sounds like a whole new system. I find myself listening to things I haven't listened to in a while, just to hear the system with the Polks added. Before you by a new system TRY new speakers first. You can be has happy as iAM. The best part it, I haven't even got my 110s yet!

Surround Singers

I'm using these solid performers as surround backups in a 5.0 theatre system with two 550t towers and a 250c center; no subwoofer (as of yet, heh-heh). Just connected the whole sha-bang with 150 feet of Monster Cable XP--50' to each surround and 10' to the upfront trio, including a bi-amp to the towers. The 220b's are corner-mounted to the walls above and behind me (to help load the bass) and ALL 5 speakers are set to "large" to maximize the bass performance of source material (don't I sound technical-ha!). Anyway, to sum up: these so-called "bookshelf" marvels hold their own with the center and towers to create a SEAMLESS theatre experience, including that concussive bass shockwave when ALL 5 speakers fire at once. They don't draw attention to themselves during normal surround effects, but join in the fray when called upon. I suspect they out-perform typical "surround" speakers in this respect, that is, realistic impact--with bass and musical detail. Impressed, yes!

Pros:Come through "in the clutch", when called upon to create solid realistic theatre bass, as well as musical detail in a broad frequency bandwidth. Perfect for "corner mounting" between walls. Look great--love the shape and finish--match the other Tsx front speakers.

Perfect for what I want

I needed a set of replacement speakers for my stereo. I didn't want anything too big . These fit the bill. I play and listen to a lot of classical, jazz and alternative music. These reproduce the music very well.

I would recommend these. You may want yo use these with a good subwoofer, but not a necessity.

Pros:Mids and highs come through really well. Well built.

Cons:Bass is a little muddled. Could be solved by putting on a stand or possibly by using a subwoffer.

Polk Audio TSx220B - Cherry

For my marantz sr6005, I have floorstanding polk monitor 70's wired to my fronts, polk tsx250c wired up center, and some old polk 10" sub from 10yrs ago. I bought the pair of tsx220b to replace my surrounds, and sure glad I did. They really opened up the sound stage, the highs are crisp and bass is tight. Just make sure you have the room for these things, they're huge and look badass on speaker stands.

Nice

Paired these with an Onkyo TX-8255 receiver and i'm not disappointed. The receiver was reviewed with having "muddy sound" but with these speakers makes for a nice combo. If your in to loud music then get a 'sub.

Polk Audio TSx220B

I'm sold on Polk Audio, I own four pairs. I purchased the TSx220B bookshelf speakers for my sister's living room after much debate about buying a wireless solution (she wanted something small and relatively invisible). These speakers perform like much larger floor-standing speakers. The ported design offers deep, rich base and the highs are sharp!

Pros:Deep, rich sound. These speakers project such a wide, balanced spectrum that you'd think you were listening to much larger floor-standing speakers. Great cabinetry contributes to both sound quality and aesthetics.

Nice speakers

Very nice looking speakers, but we don't buy speakers because they're perty. Nice sound, very good spatial imaging. Very crisp highs, and decent lows for a bookshelf speaker. Would recommend them if you can't use tower speaker.
